Message	So the Cobras have been listed at the ground HP for the last couple of years. It has to do with Ford getting upset at the fact that all of the "fast fords" are not direct sale cars. i.e. Rousch & Saleen. They figured out that they could sell a car with the S/c for less than the other guys and still make a whole lot of money. Also they make Ford the source for name recognition. Goose93 96TT
